An Elephants Trick.

The elephant of the Jardiu des
Plantes at Paris used to play his visitors
trick which could not have been
thought of but by an animal of much
intelligence. His house opened upon
an enclosure called the elephants park,
containing pond, in which he would
lay himself under the water, conceal
ing every part of him except the very
end of his trunk-a mere speck that
would hardly be noticed by a stranger
to the animals habits. A crowd would
often assemble around the enclosure,
and, not seeing him in it, would watch,
in expectation that he would soon issue
from the house. But while thew were
gazing about copious sprinkling of
water would fall upon them, and ladies
and gentlemen, with their fine bonnets
and coats, would run for shelter under
the trees, looking up at the clear sky
and wondering whence such a shower
could come, Immediately afterward.
however, they would see the elephant
rising slowly from his bath, evincing
an awkward joy at the trick that he
had played. In the course of time his
amusement became generally known,
and the moment the water began to
rise from his trunk the spectators would
take flight, at which he appeared eX-
ceedingly delighted, getting up as fast
as he could to see the hustle he had
caused.

Songs i'm the Dark.

Beautifully it is said: VERY many
of the sweetest joys of Christian hearts
are songs which have been learned in
the bitterness of trial. 1t is said of a
little bird that he will never learn to
sing the song his master will have him
sing while it is light in his cage. He
learns snatch of every song he hears,
but will not learn full, separate
melody of his own. And the master
covers the cage and makes it dark all
about the bird, and he listens and learns
the one song that is taught him until
his heart is full of it. Then ever after
he sings that song in the light. With
many of us the Master has a song he
wants to teach us, but we learn only a
note OF it here and there, while we
catch up snatches of the worlds songs
and sing them with it. And then he
comes and makes it dark about us, till
we learn the sweet melody he will teach
us. Many of the loveliest songs of
trust and peace sung by Gods children
in this world have been taught in the
darkened chamber of sorrow.7'

Trying to Get in at the
Wrong Door.

When l began my ministry in Dun.
dee l had the privilege of meeting
many of those who were blessed under
the preaching of the sainted Murray
M'Cheyne. l was told of one case of
conversion which is rather peculiar.
The person was much troubled, his
mind was filled with gloomy darkness
and he had no peace nor rest. One
day, as MCheyne was preaching to
Christians, not to those outside Christ's
fold, the man got peace. After the serv-
ice the man went round to the vestry
to see the minister, who did not need
to inquire if the visitor had got peace /;
it shone in his face, so he simply asked :
" How did you get it?" He answered.
"7Al the time I've been trying to enter
at the saints door, but while YOU were
speaking saw my mistake, and en-
tered in at the sinners door" 1t is
the only way. You need not come to
God as a saint, or pretty good sort of
person, but simply as sinner, want
ing and needing salvation. If you do
so in Christ's name you will get it.

For Young Men.

Lead me not into temptation! O,
young man, thinking within yourself,
8 am so strong there is no fear about
me-" l tell you you make the most
dreadful mistake. The very fact that
you think yourself so strong opens the
way for the devil and his insidious
attacks. Fling the temptation aside.
Come to the Lords side and pledge
yourself to him and be his; and when
you say, "Lead me not into tempta-
tion," move in the direction of your
prayer. and God will give you the
strength, in which alone you will be
able to resist the tempter. Then you
will be delivered from evil and then YOU
will look up to God, not taking credit
to yourself, not magnifying in yourself,
but saying, Chime is the kingdom,
and the power and glory" -Reu. John
Hall.

Conscience.

Conscience" says the Sunday
School Times, " is not given to man
ITO instruct him in the right, but its
mission is to prompt him to choose the
fright instead of the wrong when he is
INSTRUCTED as to the right. Conscience
tells man that he ought to do right,
but conscience does not tell a man
what is right. And if a man has made
pup his mind that a certain wrong course
|is the right one, the more he depends
|on his conscience the more hopeless he
s as wrong-doer. A man is pretty
Far gone in an evil way when he serves
the devil conscientiously."

Moral ano Belisiuus.
True HerOism.

Let others write of battles fought
ON bloody, CHASTITY fields,
Where honor greets the man who wins
And death the man who yields;
But will write of him who fights
And vanquishes his sins
who struggles on, through weary years,
Against himself and wins
lie is hero, staunch and brave,
Who fights an unseen foe,
And puts at last beneath his feet
His passions base and low
And stands erect in manhoods might,
Undaunted, undismayed-
The bravest man who drew a sword
In foray or in raid.
1t calls for something more than Drawn
Or muscle to o'ercome
An enemy who marcheth not
with banner, plume or drum
foe forever lurking nigh,
With silent, stealthy tread;
Forever near your board by day,
AT night beside your bed.
All honor, then, to that brave heart,
Though poor or rich he be,
Who struggles with his baser part,
who conquers and is free.
He may not wear a hero's crown
or fill hero's grave,
But truth will place his name among
The bravest of the brave. Selected

Why Laura Lost Her Beau.
Laura once had an ailluent beau.
VINO called twice a fortnight or so;
Now she sits sunday eve,



oh whore Is her recreant beau,
And why did he leave Laura so?
Why, he saw that Laura was a anguish
ing, delicate girl, subject to sick
headaches, sensitive nerves and uncer-
tain tempers; and knowing what life
long trial is a fretful, sickly wife, he
transferred his attentions to her cheer
full, healthy cousin Ellen. The secret
is that Laura's health and strength are
Slapped by chronic weakness, peculiar
to her sex, which Ellen averts and
avoids by the use of DIR. Pierce's Favor

nesses and ailments sold by druggists

Bernhart at Rehearsal.

Bernhart was the craze here, and Ger
tainly she gave us finer acting than any
one else has in our time. She has grown
stouter since her former visit, and it
would be utter nonsense for her to essay
the part of an umbrella and hide herself
in cover nowadays. But there are few
parts she cannot play. 1 had proof of
this IN way that | shall al
ways consider as an extraordinary
piece of personal good fortune.
The theatre was dark though the stage
was lighted. 1t was when her company
was rehearsing "Adrienne Lecouvreur."
She came in from the street in hat, jack
ct and gloves and Topped down on the
dusty boards like tailor. The actors
and actresses came on, one or two at time
and spoke their parts. Not one exactly
satisfied her and at each fault she bounc-
ed to her feet, rushed to the proper spot
and took the place of the player, speak
ing the lines and impersonating the char
acter as she conceived that the situation
required. "There" she would say in
French, ''that's my idea" A score of
times she repeated this, sitting down be-
tween her efforts plump on the stage,
with her legs crossed chattering like
child. She did not know she was observ-
ed from the darkened auditorium, but l
went away conscious that had seen the
greatest of actresses play all the parts of
a great drama.

ALL IN BLACK.

Black still enjoys favor in hosiery, but
there is an indication that departure will
soon be made, as black stockings with the
white, and cloakings of white. yellow,
green and other colors are becoming
quite popular.
Matrons lean toward the jet wraps, and
young girls esteem the covert jackets for
wear in the car! iage.
This is a black surrah for older ladies.
This one was of black surrah. Over
surrah skirt trimmed with three narrow
killed hounces of alternate surrah and lace
fell second skirt equal in length, made
of alternate bands of imitation Chantilly
lace insertings and wider bands of pre-
viously killed surrah, trimmed at the
edge with wide hounce of Chantilly lace.
At the left side this skirt was simply
tucked up la Marguerite, with scarf of
surrah whose ends were shirred and put
in passementerie goblets-that is, fancy
tassels with hollows inside into which the
material is introduced. The back dtapery
was formed of two shawl ends, made of
surrah, SO separated as to allow the insert
ing and plated surrah to show in the
middle of the back. Corsage of plain
surrah with yoke of insertings of lace.
Plain surrah sleeve extending little be-
low.
